That's the most runs Patterson has posted since back in May of 2024. Another player making a difference was Gavin Addison, who went 1-for-3 with three runs and two RBI.

Latin has been performing well recently as they've won nine of their last 11 contests. That's provided a nice bump to their 15-4 record this season. The wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 11.4 runs over those games. As for Lisle, the loss snapped their winning streak at three games and leaves them with a 5-25-1 record.

Coming up, Latin will take on Chicago Hope Academy at 11:00 a.m. on Saturday. Latin's pitchers better be ready for this one: Chicago Hope Academy has averaged an impressive 6.1 runs per game this season. Lisle does not have any more games scheduled as of now.
